| Registered User | Timing of insulin and post-workout nutrition. My post-workout shake consists of whey protein, dextrose, maltodextrin, creatine, and glutamine (Though after reading everything YJ and others have posted, I have decided to finish my supply then discontinue.). I'm also type 1 diabetic, meaning I don't produce insulin. The insulin that I inject is a fast acting one, peaking in 20-30 minutes. Here's my question: Should I take everything (insulin and shake) at the same time? Or should it be like shake, then insulin 30 minutes later (or vice versa)? Hopefully my question is clear; thanks guys. |

| The Axe Man Cometh!! | do you take Humalog or Type-R It sounds like Humalog, if so take it at the same time as your shake. If you take Type-R, take insulin first then after about 15-20 min. drink the shake Hope this helps |

| Registered User | Yes, it's Humalog. Thanks. |

| Registered User | Yep same time as the shake would be what I think is best. You may want to talk to your doc though just to be on the safe side. I would assume you use it the same as you would for any meal though. |

| Registered User | Actually I usually take it a few minutes before most meals, but that is because all I'm taking it for then is to lower the blood sugar that the carbs will raise. When I take it with creatine though I'm trying to make it as effective as possible as well as to lower what the dextrose and maltodextrin will raise. |

| Registered User | Then probably what your looking for is your normal dose plus some. I am FAR from a doctor but the dose seems fairly simple. If you take your normal dose then everything is like normal, so start adding to the dose. Try your dose +3 iu and work up a little each time perhaps. |

| Pork Chop | I also cannot see the point of taking dextrose or malto in a PW in general (but that's another story ). You are looking for a spike PW, and will get one with the insulin inject, no doubt about that. |

| The Axe Man Cometh!! | as I said before I dropped all high gi carbs and the only difference I see is that I dont gain as much fat and it is easier to lose fat as well my recovery doesnt seem to be affected at all either way |
